What is the proper fuel and oil mixture for my gas scooter?
Your scooter uses a 2 stroke engine for power. A two stroke engine was chosen for its excellent power to weight ratio. A two stroke engine does not require that you ever change the oil; however it does require that you mix quality grade 2 stroke oil with the gasoline prior to filling your scooters gas tank. This ensures that your engine will remain lubricated and give you reliable service.
To accomplish this you can buy the suitable oil at almost any auto parts store or hardware store. The oil and gas are the mixed together in a separate container before filling the scooter.
The mixture should be done at a 25:1 ratio. Mixing the gas and oil too lean can cause the engine to run too hot resulting in permanent engine damage. Mixing the gas and oil too rich will cause decreased performance and result in a fouled spark plug. By strictly following the 25:1 ratio you can be assured maximum performance from your scooter.
